"Mom I need to pee!"

This is what I heard from my 7 year old last night at church

thru the elevator door.

Him and another little gal got stuck in the church's new elevator for over half an hour last night. Oh man what a bit of a nerve racking time that was... we had to wait for the elevator people to get there for the key to open it... I just stood outside it and talked to them the whole time, they were real troopers for sure! I kept asking if they were ok and then after a bit I heard "Mom I need to pee!" (all I could think about was please Matthew don't pee in the corner of that new elevator!) lol... as soon as they got it open and I tried to hug him he bolted for the bathroom! Crisis over, moms heart is beating back to normal and he didn't seem too phased by it at all!

We are still feeling like turd around here, but I have to suck it up (really what choice do I have?... oh the life of a mom!) anywho... we have football and cheer tonight out of town so it will be another late night.

Here is a layout that I did for the Noel Mignon challenge blog, we were to scrap about college days and since I don't have any pictures here of me I did one more about Morgan's dreams for college. I used the Noel Mignon 'Core Curriculum' kit for this:

and I'm back...

Whew.. what a whirlwind weekend! It was nice to have the hubby home and we spent lots of family time together! Bummer though the games on Saturday were rained out so he didn't get to see the younger 2 boys play.

This weekend was spent at the movies, the park, out to eat, church, football fields, and around the table for a family game night. Of course not one picture was taken... doh!

Now the house is sick, including me. yuck.

Matthew has only been to school a half day this week and we all just sound just awful... hopefully we will all get better very soon! I don't have the time to be sick when it's just me around here, grrr.

I recieved my new Noel Mignon kit "Mill Street" in the mail yesterday and sick or not had to create something with it quickly... it's too pretty not too! If you haven't checked it out over there, go quick! The kits sell out fast over there! :)And of course my CPS card for the week! We were sponsored by Clear and Simple stamps this month... fun stuff!

Cards!

Lately I have been knocking out cards to sell up at the Fall Festival at church... so I pulled out my older Making Memories papers I got at Michaels awhile back... I'm a bit in love with it all once again... good stuff! I have lots more to make, these are coming together so quickly too, gotta love that! Obviously this will break into a couple Thank You sets... hopefully they do well! :)

Tomorrow is an exciting day around the Moreno household, daddy is coming in (my dh! hehe)... the kids are so excited, it's been a long while since we have had him home (May I think was the last time for a few days?)... anywho... he will get to see each of the kids in all their stuff! Tomorrow is pep rally and Morgan football, Friday night football, Saturday is Matthew and Mitchells games, then Sunday church... so we are expecting to have a fun weekend! :)

Thanks for stopping by! :)

Weekend ReCap!

We had a full weekend around here...
Thursday was football/cheer day! The Dogies had another winning week... yeah!!Morgan is #12
Saturday was filled with RipFest activities, beginning with the parade! Madison and Morgan rode on the middle school football/cheerleader float and the girls got down in front of the courthouse and did a little dance for all (way cute!). I had a hard time getting a picture of Morgan on the float because he was sitting right in the middle.... doesn't he know that I need pictures? (of course he could care less... he's in the middle of his group of friends talking away! ha!) Makenna rode the little cheerleader float just as cute as ever!

Here is the middle school float (Madison is standing up with her back to us, second from right)Madison with Lexi and Stephanie and Tony the Tiger at the parade:

This little guy rode this mechanical bull all through the parade:
I totally loved the little flags on the end of this Longhorns horns:


Ol' Rip:

Makenna and her friend Taylor riding the Little Cheerleaders float:

Then we spent the day drooling over all the goodies in the booths and buying up jewelry for the girls and I. Morgan spent the day (in heaven I might add cause I let his leash out a bit) walking around and hanging with his friends. (Keep in mind this is a small town and I saw him all the time or knew someone who has seen him.. hehe).

Then both Matthew and Mitchell had football games... so we went into town around 8:30am and didn't get home until 7pm... full day for sure!!

Sunday morning Madison started not feeling well before we went to church but I needed to go up still and get a few things done and once we got home she is now throwing up and spending her day in bed :( I feel like turd too, so hopefully it's not something we will spread all around! :(


And to finish with something scrappy. This is my card for this week over at CPS... this is the #136 sketch)... we were sponsored by GinaK stamps... they have some GREAT stamp sets over there, check them out! :)

Pebbles Inc is joining American Crafts!! How exciting!! You can read all about it here on the American Crafts Studio Blog (even better is they are keeping the Pebbles DT in tact!)

Special shout out to the Dogies- my oldest son's football team- who won another game last night.. and for my daughter for cheering for about 4.5 hours straight (what a trooper!)

I'm a workin' woman now!

Well it looks like I will be entering the work force again after 13 years of staying home... well at least part time! LOL
Last night at church they asked if I would be interested in subbing at the Mulberry School (preschool) and I jumped at the chance. Sounds good to me and the pay is right... it will be nice to pull in a little extra income but then I still have the option to turn it down if I have sick kids etc....

ok on to scrappy things...
